I am confused as to why we spend so much energy trying to preserve jobs that for the most part no one really draws their purpose from those jobs. The planet provides us with oxygen which is a primary need for our species. Since food, clothing and shelter are also primary needs for our species what is wrong with technology providing those items and services? I think we would be much better served by conversations about creative leisure and “what comes after jobs” than by conversations about preserving jobs.
Agree 100%. It is demeaning to us as humans when we are told that jobs are the pinnacle of our existence. No one would want a job if they knew how to make a living on their own merits. Fortunately, I think this is the direction we are heading in. Jobs as we know them now will not exist in 10-15 years.
Hi Susan. I think you are probably right but as the speed of changes accelerates the runway for us to accommodate the changes shortens. Old “wisdom” based on experience is less valuable as tomorrow is not likely to be like yesterday.I think we have to start to base our suggestions on the trends not the old principles. Thanks for responding.

Especially when the jobs being preserved are the low paying ones and the high paying ones are being swapped for them.
I think you’re ahead of your time Terry.
